Christine Kaseba is the First Lady of the Republic of Zambia. She has been working at the University Teaching Hospital in Lusaka for more than 25 years. Apart from Clinical work, Dr Kaseba-Sata has also been lecturing at the only school of Medicine in Zambia for the past 15 years. She is a Zambian Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist.

In a country where all praise for the government or the rulers is so adored by the powers that be and their disciples and where criticism is routinely dismissed as a sign of bitterness, there is always trouble finding the right balance. But the curious case of First Lady Christine Kaseba comes to mind. Her ladyship has been in the limelight for the better part of the time her husband His Excellency President Michael Sata has been in power. Nothing wrong with that given that she is the First Lady, a pillar upon which the Presidency rests. This is so because of her endless efforts to foster change in the health sector.

In 2013, she was in Choma, where she joined other medical specialists in conducting several operations at Choma General Hospital. Dr Kaseba’s two-day working visit was part of the 10-day mobile

JUWELS MAGAZINE outreach programme organised by the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Community Development, Mother and Child and Ubutala Bwa Bumi, a non-governmental organisation which she runs.

The First Lady, who is an obstetrician and a gynaecologist, was joined by other specialist medical officers in performing several operations ranging from gynaecology complications to removal of fibroids and ovaries and so on.

Well, just like her hardworking husband our dear president his Excellency Mr. Michael Chilufya Sata, she too is a Woman of Action.
